Geog. 549 Student Projects

Spring, 2013

• Water and Watersheds, Geography 549, focused on Rocky Branch Watershed (RBW) in 2013. As part of the course assignments, each student joined a team and undertook a project to explore a topic of their choosing concerned with RBW. A list of potential topics was circulated and discussed, including projects concerned with hydrology, water quality, biology, and spatial analysis, and students defined a topic for their teams. The selected reports presented here—in no particular order—are final project reports for these teams.

(Note: this is a preliminary listing of edited reports. The edits will be made and final reports will be substituted in the near future.)
